New Surround Sound Effects Library

Alvaro de Iscar, the man behind Foley Collection has released his own field recordings labelSurround Sound Lab. The recordings on this label are surround ready, often using double MS mic configuration to capture the sound in a format agnostic way. A good example of this is London City Sounds recorded in London exclusively during a 4 days visit in the city.

Parks, Ambiences, Traffic, Wallas, indoors crowds, buses, trains, stations and touristic places, all available with more than 4.5 hours of original and actual recordings. 79 original field recordings in Surround 5.1 , ST and Double MS RAW format. Each ambience recorded in this library is at least 3-4 minutes long, so there is no need for looping ambience in your project!

4:30pm Ian explained the process of tracking and finding a kiwi – turns out the precious kiwi breeding pairs have transmitters attached to them & being territorial they tend to stay within certain areas of bush… But ‘their patch of bush’ can cover many square kilometres, so his recce the previous day had been to ascertain which pair were sleeping near a track that we could actually get to… We also met a couple who would be joining us, and Ian was careful to check none of us were wearing ‘rustly’ clothes – not just to avoid ruining our recordings but to also avoid distracting him from audibly tracking the location of the kiwis in the dark…

5:20pm Ian had told us the kiwis usually wake 20-30 minutes after sunset, and then begin foraging…. So he made sure we were in position & recording well before then…. And so the waiting began… I had carried in a stereo pair of Sennheiser MKH8040 mics & a Manfrotto stand, plus an MKH8020 in a Telinga dish, capturing sound via a Sound Devices 744 recorder and 302 preamp.

6:37pm OMG...
